Wow! What a great game.
The girls started brightly with attacking intent from the off, working the ball into the opposition final third with Lyla and Immy putting good balls into the opposition box. We were unlucky not to score in this opening period of play and were undone from a good opposition counter attack and a corner to find ourselves 2 nil down.
Heads could have dropped but the Lions' resilience and spirit with a good counter press resulted in the next 3 goals to a rejuvenated Lions . The first by Immy from a great delivery by Lyla on the left wing. Then Alex found space to show her brilliance from an excellent defensive interception to make it 2-2 and then Alex again with a good run off the ball and positioning to finish amd make it 3-2 Lions just before half time.
The second half saw Lions growing in confidence with a great goal from Erin, from an Immy throw in to make it 4-2. Jess showed her confidence in defense, partnered by Isla and they work worked hard to clear any dangerous attacks.
Alicia showed how much she has grown in skill and confidence saving a penalty.
Shamrock came back to score from a free kick just outside the box to make it 4-3 but the defensive skill of the team and strong midfield play ensured that the opposition had no time on the ball and we continued to challenge their defence and goalie with attempts on target by Alex, Immy, Lyla and Erin.
Finally Alex managed to fire an excellent 5th goal for her hat trick and seal the Lions win.
A huge congratulations on the work ethic of Alex, Immy, Lyla and Erin on and off the ball.
Well done for getting a hatrick Alex 👏👏
Parents POM goes to Erin for her strength in tackling and running with the ball that resulted in her goal and several effective crosses into the box.
Go Lions!🦁
